STORYLINE
Customs posts were removed from Croatia's borders with its European Union neighbour Slovenia early on Monday only moments after Croatia's official entry to the EU.
Celebrations were held at border crossings with Slovenia and Hungary, while EU signs and flags were put on its borders with non-EU states Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro.
Croatia became the 28th EU member, the bloc's first addition since Bulgaria and Romania joined in 2007.
It is a major milestone some 20 years after the country won independence in a bloody civil war that shook the continent.
Though enthusiasm for the country's achievement has been dampened by the EU's financial turmoil, it is a historic turning point for the small Balkan nation of 4.2 (m) million, which endured years of carnage after declaring independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991.
A small ceremony with fireworks was held at Bregana, a crossing border between Slovenia and Croatia - two former Yugoslavian republics.
Slovenia is the only other former Yugoslav state that is an EU member - since May 1, 2004.
"Here in Bregana we are celebrating entry into the European Union - the entry into a single market with more than 500 (m) million citizens," said Croatian Finance Minister Slavko Linic while his Slovenian counterpart Uros Cufer welcomed the latest EU member.
Thousands of people waving small EU and Croatian flags joined celebrations across the country, including in Zagreb's main square.
There, artists performed for some 100 visiting foreign leaders until midnight when a large fireworks display and the singing of Beethoven'sOde to Joy - EU's anthem - marked the official entry into the bloc.

Finance minister

A finance minister is an executive or cabinet position in charge of one or more of government finances, economic policy and financial regulation. It may also be a junior minister in the finance department, the British Treasury, for example has four junior ministers.

A finance minister's portfolio has a large variety of names across the world, such as "treasury", "finance", "financial affairs", "economy" or "economic affairs". The position of the finance minister might be named for this portfolio, but it may also have some other name, like "Treasurer" or, in the United Kingdom, "Chancellor of the Exchequer".

Finance Minister of Denmark

The Finance Minister of Denmark (DanishFinansministeren) is the head of the Ministry of Finance of Denmark, and a member of the Cabinet. As head of the ministry, the minister has responsibility for the ministry's tasks of administrering the state finances via the fiscal policy, and making economic predictions and recommendations.

Minister of Finance (New Zealand)

The Minister of Finance, originally known as Colonial Treasurer, is a senior figure within the government of New Zealand. The position is often considered to be the most important Cabinet role after that of the Prime Minister.

Responsibilities and powers

The Minister of Finance is responsible for producing an annual New Zealand budget outlining the government's proposed expenditure. According to Parliament's Standing Orders, the Minister of Finance may veto any parliamentary bill which would have a significant impact on the government's budget plans. The Minister of Finance also supervises the Treasury, which is the government's primary advisor on matters of economic and financial policy. As such, the Minister of Finance has broad control of the government's spending, making the position quite powerful.

Some analysts, such as Jonathan Boston, claim that the Minister of Finance can sometimes hold more influence than the Prime Minister, if the conditions are right. Gordon Coates, Finance Minister in the early 1930s, was sometimes such a figure. Some political scientists, such as Boston, believe that in the government of David Lange, Minister of Finance Roger Douglas held more power than was proper, and that the Treasury was using its control of government finances to take a supervisory role across the whole administration. It was probably for this reason that Lange's successor, Geoffrey Palmer, established the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, which could offer the Prime Minister advice independent of that given by individual ministers.

Yanis Varoufakis

Yanis Varoufakis (Greek:Ιωάννης "Γιάνης" Βαρουφάκης,pronounced[ˈʝanis varuˈfacis]; born 24 March 1961) is an academic economist who was a member of the Greek parliament between January and September 2015. He represented the ruling Syriza party and held the position of Minister of Finance for seven months. He voted against the terms of the third bailout package for Greece. In December 2015 he announced plans to launch a pan-European movement the following February.

Varoufakis is a participant in the current debates on the global and European crisis, the author of The Global Minotaur and several academic texts on economics and game theory, Professor of Economic Theory at the University of Athens and a private consultant for Valve Corporation. He is a dual Greek-Australian citizen and describes himself as a 'libertarian Marxist': "In truth, Karl Marx was responsible for framing my perspective of the world we live in, from my childhood to this day. It is not something that I volunteer to talk about in 'polite society' much these days because the very mention of the M-word switches audiences off."

Futureproofing the Economy with Croatian Minister of Finance

The Cabinet approved a proposal to amend rules for foreign investment in non-banking finance companies (NBFCs).
“The amendment in the existing Foreign ExchangeManagement regulations on non- banking finance companies (NBFCs) will enable inflow of foreign investment in ‘other financial services’ on automatic route provided such services are regulated by any financial sector regulators (RBI, SEBI, PFRDA etc.)/government agencies,” according to an official statement on Wednesday.Foreign investment in ‘other financial services’ that are not regulated by any regulators or by a government agency can be made via the approval route, according to the statement.“Further, minimum capitalisation norms as mandated under FDI policy have been eliminated as most of the regulators have already fixed minimum capitalisation norms,” it said. “The present regulations on NBFCs stipulates that FDI would be allowed on automatic route for only 18 specified NBFC activities after fulfilling prescribed minimum capitalisation norms mentioned therein,” it said.

STORYLINE
Customs posts were removed from Croatia's borders with its European Union neighbour Slovenia early on Monday only moments after Croatia's official entry to the EU.
Celebrations were held at border crossings with Slovenia and Hungary, while EU signs and flags were put on its borders with non-EU states Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro.
Croatia became the 28th EU member, the bloc's first addition since Bulgaria and Romania joined in 2007.
It is a major milestone some 20 years after the country won independence in a bloody civil war that shook the continent.
Though enthusiasm for the country's achievement has been dampened by the EU's financial turmoil, it is a historic turning point for the small Balkan nation of 4.2 (m) million, which endured years of carnage after declaring independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991.
A small ceremony with fireworks was held at Bregana, a crossing border between Slovenia and Croatia - two former Yugoslavian republics.
Slovenia is the only other former Yugoslav state that is an EU member - since May 1, 2004.
"Here in Bregana we are celebrating entry into the European Union - the entry into a single market with more than 500 (m) million citizens," said Croatian Finance Minister Slavko Linic while his Slovenian counterpart Uros Cufer welcomed the latest EU member.
Thousands of people waving small EU and Croatian flags joined celebrations across the country, including in Zagreb's main square.
There, artists performed for some 100 visiting foreign leaders until midnight when a large fireworks display and the singing of Beethoven'sOde to Joy - EU's anthem - marked the official entry into the bloc.
